I am a web worker too. I have been for sometime, but without actually realizing it. I started a few small companies in Chicago, and I slowly was working out of the house or a Starbucks more and more. I realized I liked the time to myself, and able to just think. I find when sitting in the office I can get a lot of busy work done, but rarely do I have time to sit and think about my situation, task, or whatever. I do find it difficult to divide my time, or focus sometimes. I learned how to reduce the "noise", and pick 2 to 3 major tasks to fulfill each day, and the rest is gravy. It gives me the freedom to accomplish what my mood and energy level is best suited for, but doesn't sacrifice my deadlines. Good luck, and keep on blogging. sincerely, Marty I liked the blog.

Perhaps eventually I'll get into it full time. For now I am comfortable with not letting it consume my life. Right now I am excited about the flexibility web working brings me and the stability working my other job part time brings me. I've heard the "jump in with both feet" advice before and it's good. It's just not right for me where I am in my life right now. .-= timmy´s last blog ..<a href="http://timmyjohnboy.com/2009/09/29/learning-from-my-blogging-mistakes/" rel="nofollow">Learning from my blogging mistakes</a> =-. @Niall Thanks for the advice!

The one thing I would say is try and jump in to it full time as soon as you can possibly afford it as it will need most of your time! The good news is that it is the most fulfilling thing you will ever do and really exciting but the bad news is that it will totally consume you and oyu'll have very little spare time! Exicting time for you :) Best of luck with it! The one thing I would say is try and jump in to it full time as soon as you can possibly afford it as it will need most of your time!
